WASHINGTON (MEDIA GENERAL) — Hate crimes against Muslims in the United States increased by 67 percent from 2014 to 2015, according to a report released Monday by the FBI.
The statistics come from the U.S. Department of Justice.
Compared to the FBI's report in 2014, incidents involving Muslims increased from 154 to 257 in 2015.
The numbers show an increase in hate crimes against African Americans as well. In total, law enforcement counted 371 more hate crimes in 2015 than the previous year.
Hate crimes included in these stats can be against people, property or society. The data shows 65 percent of the offenses were against people while 34 percent were against property.
According to the FBI, the offenses against people included 18 murders and 12 rapes.

You guys are amazing. That's all there is to it. In just over two weeks, Ars Technica readers have donated $25,623.23 to the Ars Technica Child's Play charity drive, to help provide toys and games to sick kids in hospitals around the world. Just over 400 of you have donated and earned yourself an entry into our biggest contest ever, with over 90 piece of swag to be given away.
If you aren't among those entrants yet, don't worry... there's still time. But not much. You have until midnight Eastern time tonight, Friday, January 4th, to make your donation and send in your digital receipt to log your entry (and add to our running total). More details on how to donate and enter are below, so don't miss your chance.
We're within spitting distance of last year's $26,000 charity fundraising record. Let's dig deep and set a new high-water mark this year. For the children. UPDATE: As of 3:19 p.m. Eastern time, our grand total stands at $26.417.38, which Ben Kuchera concedes is a new record for the annual Ars Technica Child's Play drive (which he'd been running since 2007). Well done everyone! There's still about 9 hours left, though, so let's blow that old record out of the water!
How to enter
Donating is simple. Head over to the official Child's Play site to donate via PayPal, or pick out an item from the Amazon wish list for a participating hospital directly. Donate as much or as little as you feel comfortable with; every little bit helps.
Once that's done, it's time to register your entry in our contest. Just grab a digital copy of your receipt (a screenshot, or simply a cut and paste of the text) and send it to firstname.lastname@example.com by the end of the day on Friday, January 4, 2013. Every receipt counts as an entry in a drawing for one of the prizes outlined in the post linked below. (One entry per person, and each person can only win up to one prize. US residents only. See official rules for entry without purchase.) We'll then contact the winners and have them choose their prize by January 31 (choosing takes place in the order the winners are drawn).
Check out the introductory post to see a complete list of the prizes you can win.

Getty has awarded a total of $130,000 in grants to photographers and non-profit organizations, with five of the winners picking up $10,000 grants to help them expand their already-existing editorial work. The five editorial winners include William Daniels, who shot powerful images for Central African Republic for TIME and other publications this year and Giulio Di Sturco, whose inside look at Madagascar's cocoa war featured on LightBox in May.
Photographer William Daniels won a grant for his often disturbing work from Central African Republic, where groups of vigilantes called anti-balaka -- comprised of Christians, animists and former troops loyal to the toppled government -- have battled with the country's Muslims. The conflict, Daniels says, is vastly underrepresented in most media and he plans to use the grant to help him probe more deeply into "the background of what's going on." He hopes the grant will help him answer questions like "what makes a boy into an anti-balaka?" he adds. "Photography has a key role to play in places where people are suffering on a big scale," Daniels says.
Giulio Di Sturco's look at the the Ganges river earned him his grant. The work, which is oddly beautiful and sometimes unnerving, looks at the evolution of the river along which about 8 percent of the world's population live. The river faces "new environmental challenges," Di Sturco tells TIME, with the Ganges basin the river being one of the most polluted in the world. The grant, he says, will allow him to "finish the last chapter of the project" and to put out both a book and an exhibition.
Krisanne Johnson's win came on the back of her frenetic, moving project, documenting the lives of what she calls the "post-apartheid generation" in South Africa. "They are grappling with many issues," she says, "struggling with access to education, gang violence and HIV to name just a few." In South Africa, more than half of the nation's 18-25 year olds are unemployed.
Juan Arredondo's powerful work looking at the experience of current and former child combatants in Colombia caught judges eyes. Human Right Watch estimates that approximately 11,000 children have been used as combatants in the country, and about 3,500 former child combatants have been reunited with their families by the government. By the time they are thirteen, HRW adds, most child recruits have been trained in the use of automatic weapons, grenades, mortars and explosives. "This story needs visibility," Arredondo says, "to bring forth a public discussion of a crisis long ignored in Colombia."
Quiet, striking work documenting of the lives of Mennonite communities in Bolivia saw Jordi Busqué win a grant. Mennonites are Christians who follow a way of life that has not changed since the 16th century. Living in rural isolation, they are fiercely protective of their privacy.
Laura Boushnak wins a grant called the Getty Images and Lean In Editorial Grant, which focuses on those documenting important but under-told stories about women. Her project, I Read I Write, is a broad, continuing project about education and women in the Arab world.
Announced at Visa pour l'Image, a widely-attended yearly photojournalism festival held in Perpignan, France, the grants—first established in 2004—aim to help photographers undertake "projects of personal and journalistic significance." This year's judges included The New York Times International Picture Editor David Furst, National Geographic Magazine Director of Photography Sarah Leen and Francois Leroy, Director General of Visa pour l'Image, among others.
Getty also awarded a $10,000 portrait photography grant and three creative grants of $20,000, one of which went to Robin Hammond. The creative awards aim to help non profits work with photographers.

It was amazing how a right to life anti-abortion ad on a billboard in Manhattan went up and had to be taken down in less than one week. New York City Public Advocate Bill De Blasio's position was that this billboard simply doesn't belong in New York City.
The same sentiments were expressed by New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn and a long list of other elected officials.
Regardless of what anyone thinks about the views on abortion expressed in the billboard on the corner of Watts Street and Avenue of the Americas in SoHo paid for by Texas, Life Always- it was an advertisement which has a place in our society.
We are a nation, which still believes in open dialogue, tolerance and discussion of different thoughts and ideas.
Those on the political left, who practice political correctness to the extreme, are no different from their counterparts- the Moral Majority thought police on the extreme political right.
Both groups promote censorship and intolerance to those whose divergent viewpoints differ from their own narrow minded ideological views. This is disappointing to people who cherish freedom of speech and intellectual discourse on issues of the day, no matter how controversial.
Both sides need a refresher course on the Constitution and Bill of Rights, including the First Amendment which protects freedom of speech. Why was the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) missing in action?
I was always under the impression that residents of SoHo, the West Village and Manhattan claimed to be the most tolerant, liberal, free speech advocates. Perhaps it depends upon whose free speech they are defending.
We are fortunate to be living in one of the few free societies left in the world today. Freedom of speech including ideas expressed in billboards paid for by private citizens or organizations is usually cherished here, not trampled on.

What CAM Functions Do Moldmakers Want?
In development of CAM software products, vendors must establish priorities and allocate resources accordingly. The priorities are primarily determined by the market or markets they wish to serve and the product's user.
In development of CAM software products, vendors must establish priorities and allocate resources accordingly. The priorities are primarily determined by the market or markets they wish to serve and the product's user. For example, aerospace users typically require a strong simultaneous five-axis capability, production machining users need effective support for multi-functional machines such as mill-turns, and moldmakers want strong three-axis milling functionality.
CIMdata surveyed moldmakers worldwide to learn which product functions they deemed most important. Twenty-one functions were defined, and moldmakers were asked to rate their importance on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the most important.
The results of the survey confirmed the commonly accepted view that a strong three-axis milling capability is the most important of the 21 defined functions. It had a rating of 4.6 on the 5.0 scale. This is not surprising, since a large fraction of molds contain complex surfaces, and these are typically cut on three-axis milling machines. Further, three-axis milling is usually the most time- consuming and critical element in the mold machining process.
Because three-axis milling is the most important NC programming function in moldmaking and a broad function, CIMdata further defined 18 individual features that are generally considered important within three-axis milling and then asked moldmakers to rate these features. The results indicate that the four most important three-axis milling features, listed in order of importance, are effective gouge avoidance, support of high-speed machining, programming flexibility and automatic rest machining. The average importance ratings for these four features ranged from 4.1 to 4.4.
Given the high cost to produce most molds, effective gouge avoidance is a fundamental requirement, and it is viewed as the most important feature. The use of high speed machining by moldmakers to improve surface finishes and reduce overall shop time is becoming commonplace, and support of this capability is essential for CAM vendors focused on the mold marketplace. Because users like programming flexibility and want to remain in control of the machining process, flexibility is also considered an important feature. Elements of programming automation such as automatic rest milling, in which a toolpath is automatically generated to remove material that was left behind from a previous cut, have gained acceptance.
At the other end of the scale, machining of STL files was the programming feature rated least important, as it garnered an average rating of 2.8.
In the overall functional ranking, strong roughing ranked second to three-axis milling with a 4.4 rating, and tight integration with design software came third with a 4.2 rating. Roughing is a major function that often consumes a significant portion of the overall machining time. A number of newer roughing techniques are now being employed, including rest roughing to remove uncut material and plunge roughing to remove more material in a shorter period of time. Tight integration with design generally implies associativity between creating a model and NC programming. As design changes occur, associativity often permits users to quickly and automatically regenerate a toolpath to accommodate the design change, saving programming time.
Overall worldwide rankings were driven primarily by North American and Japanese moldmakers. European moldmakers considered all three functions important but ranked them differently. They deemed integration of machining with design most important, followed by strong three-axis milling and strong roughing.
Further, European moldmakers chose differently when ranking more detailed 3-axis milling features. At the feature level, their order of importance among the top four worldwide features was support of high speed machining, programming flexibility, effective gouge avoidance and automatic rest machining.
At the lower end of the scale, overall software functions with average importance ratings of less than 3.0 include support of PDM software, support of CMM machines and strong simultaneous five-axis milling. However, CIMdata believes that the importance of each of these functions will increase in time. PDM software is rapidly gaining acceptance in manufacturing companies, and this will likely spread throughout the supply chain. Quality management systems are gaining acceptance, and CMM machines are a component of a quality program.
Lastly, CIMdata believes use of simultaneous five-axis machines in mold shops is increasing in as the price of the machine tool falls, programming becomes easier and the benefits of its use become better established.

Calm skies after storm dumps 2 feet in some towns
Long duration storm takes many New Englanders by surprise
A powerful March winter dropped as much as two feet of snow across parts of eastern and central Massachusetts.
The strong ocean storm brought intense, heavy snow, significant coastal flooding and strong winds overnight Thursday into the day Friday.
The strongest punch from the storm hit during the heart of the morning commute, causing a mess for commuters and a nightmare for highway crews.
Some school districts, including Boston, were criticized for holding classes despite icy sidewalks and poorly plowed roads.
Boston public schools spokesman Lee McGuire said schools were kept open because the weather forecast was so fluid. The district said students whose parents kept them home Friday would be considered "constructively present" and their absences would be excused.
The coastline was battered by three high tides during the duration of the storm, the worst Friday morning, when some roads in coastal towns were flooded with up to 3 feet of water.
A vacant house on Plum Island, off the northeast coast of Massachusetts, was ripped from its foundation and collapsed into the sea. Other homes there were badly damaged.
The highest snow amounts were reported in interior Southeast Massachusetts and across Worcester County, where between 18 and 24 inches of snow fell.
Community-by-community snowfall totals
Charley Foley, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Taunton, said the higher snowfalls were caused by winds swirling around the storm that subtly changed course from the northeast to a more northerly direction. That allowed the storm to tap colder air from Canada, pick up moisture from the warmer ocean and dump snow on New England.

Toby Sheldon Further Explains His $100K Transformation Into Justin Bieber [VIDEO]
Toby Sheldon is 33 and he has spent $100,000 to transform himself so that he looks like Justin Bieber. Beliebers have heard about him before, but now he has been profiled on TLC's 'My Strange Addiction.'
In this video clip, Sheldon reveals that he has spent five years and gone through countless procedures to morph into The Biebs. Creepy, we know.
He has had surgery on his eyes, lips, lip corners, lower lip and brows. He has had his chin reduced. Of course he had hair transplants to replicate Bieber bangs. You can't become Bieber without bangs.
So why did Sheldon embark on this quest to be Biebs?
"He had this baby face that I just really liked, and I was like 'Damn, that's what I want to look like,'" he said. Ironically enough, he is not a Belieber.
He may have a baby face and the bangs, but let's face it: He does not resemble The Biebs.

OK, so now we have Capers. He says he likes the 3-4. Julius Peppers has said he does not want to return to the Panthers but wants to go somewhere that he can be a factor & feels he can offer a lot to a 3-4 defense. Capers has coached Peppers before. Getting Peppers would be somewhere close to when we got Reggie. Man it's nice to dream.
Peppers is coming! I just know it. He will be a very Reggie-like addition, and you can bet he knows it. I've read some Capers bashing on other websites, but Capers should do very well for us, especially if he employs a hybrid 3/4, 4/3 defense, and Peppers could open up so much for guys like Kampman, Hawk, Jenkins, and Montgomery. Capers will even improve our secondary, which is near the top of the league already! This is good… can't wait to hear what he has to say when introduced to the team/city/state.
I know dreaming's in my name, but I just think Peppers and Capers sound delicious together. Great flavor, and should blend well, and enhance the uncured meat locker that is our defensive personnel. I used a food/cooking analogy earlier this offseason in another post here on PG about Free Agents: We have a much better chef now, bringing better recipes to the table, but we still need some Peppers for that extra punch! I trust that with our cap number being where it is, that this will be the year for TT to pull the trigger on the right FA stud… unlike last year and Jared Allen.
Just a note on free agency – It looks the Packers have a huge cap number to play with but what that number doesn't tell you is how many players are set to become free agents after next season. There are some key contributors and if the Packers wish to extend them it is going to seriously eat into that cap number. Jennings and Collins alone are going to take a big chuck of that cap number. You also have Kampman, Pickett, College, Spitz, Moll, Chillar, Tauscher, and Jolly I believe are all free agents after next season. (not to mention Clifton being a FA this year) I'm not saying you extend all those guys but a few of them are going to be extended and eat into that cap number. Last year, the Packers had a huge cap number available and very few players in a contract year to extend. It was disappointing to me they were a tad more active in FA. I wanted Alan Faneca! But, they then used a HUGE chunk of that unused cap space ($14 million) during the season to extend Rodgers which essentially makes his cap number extremely low going forward. Anyway, I just wanted to throw that out there to consider when we are start talking about our dream FA acquisitions. They come at a high price and it does limit what the team can do in the future in regard to future FA's or extending their own players so you better be sure they are worth the price for more then just one year.
Just to give everyone a headsup, I live in NC and have watched Peppers play for the last couple of years and I don't want him. He is a tremendous athlete and can do incredible things. But he doesn't give his all on every play, is not a leader, and is gonna require big time money. He is an extremely frustrating player to watch because he can do SO MUCH but he does not play with passion or intensity, bottom line. Just my thoughts but I don't think he would work in Green Bay.
Also, when did Capers coach Peppers? He was fired from the Panthers before Peppers got there
My bad Verno–didn't realize Capers had been gone so long (or maybe it just seems like Peppers has been here forever)-my but time flies–but I have to disagree with your assessment of Peppers. He had a bad 2007 but I really don't see him taking plays off & I think a new environment , especially one like Green Bay would certainly revive his drive. Hell, Carolina gets two TD's behind and people are headed for the exits. That don't happen in GB. (BTW I'm from NC too)–
I like the food analogy dream pipe
DaveK brings up some very good points & I'll tell you if Peppers is someone we go after–he WILL be expensive. I'm not saying that there are not better (less expensivle lesser known) candidates out there, and you guys research this a lot more than I do, but if somehow Peppers does get here I don't think it'll be a disappointment
I've just seen him get dominated too many times by either a tight end or a backup tackle to think that he wouldn't absolutely infuriate me if he was a Packer. There is no argument that he is a special athlete but he has zero passion. I just think that if he came to GB we would spend at least 50% of our time wondering just what the hell he is doing out there. A new environment isn't going to suddenly create passion where there is none. He wants to be paid like a superstar player but doesn't want the attention that comes with it. I'm not trying to say he is a bad player by any means but don't look at Peppers as a savior Reggie White type of player. He just wouldn't have that type of impact.

With his design for Felix Nussbaum Haus, which he called Museum Without Exit, architect Daniel Libeskind has created a poignant memorial in Osnabrück dedicated to Nussbaum and his art.
At Felix Nussbaum Haus, the architecture, the artist, his work and his life all interact with one another to achieve a remarkable synthesis. The architecture 'carries' the art, enhancing some of the themes and expressions in Nussbaum's pictures. Libeskind is also the architect of the Jewish Museum in Berlin and was commissioned to redevelop Ground Zero in New York.

Man charged in multiple break-ins, thefts in Mount Airy
A man faces 18 total charges in connection with a string of break-ins and thefts in the Rockford Street area of Mount Airy.
Robert Lee Adkins was arrested after a short foot pursuit Thursday on Rockford Street.
Mount Airy police said they had tried to speak with Adkins, who matched a suspect description in thefts at the Hampton Inn and Asian House restaurant, but he fled instead.
Police also found Adkins in possession of stolen property from Tractor Supply, as well as various pieces of personal identification from victims of recent thefts and break-ins.
Adkins faces four counts of felony breaking and entering, six counts of felony breaking and entering a motor vehicle, one count of felony larceny, six counts of misdemeanor larceny and one count of injury to personal property.
Adkins was held under a $75,000 bond in the Surry County Detention Center. More felony charges are expected, police said.

Amazon's new gaming platform for the Kindle Fire has a curious new feature that hints the company may be working on more Kindle Fire devices, such as another tablet or a smartphone.
The new platform named GameCircle, which rolled out Wednesday, shares similar features with Apple's social-gaming network called Game Center.
But Amazon has tapped into its cloud power to offer players something Apple does not; a syncing capability that saves all the player's information securely to the cloud.
Basically, syncing allows players using Amazon's social gaming network to save games on the cloud and return to the games right where they left off. More noteworthy, however, is the feature also allows users to sync a game and switch "between Kindle Fire devices" to return to the game.

Earth from Space: Historical view
West Africa's coast along the Atlantic Ocean is pictured in this first image from Envisat's MERIS instrument nearly a decade ago.
This week, Envisat celebrated ten years in orbit. The Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer – or MERIS – on board the satellite was developed to measure sea colour in oceans and coastal areas, although it has been used for a variety of additional applications over the years.
Envisat carries ten sensors, collecting imagery and other data on Earth's land, oceans, atmosphere, temperature and ice cover.
The first batch of data from the satellite in March 2002 was acquired via the Kiruna station in Sweden and processed at ESA's ESRIN establishment in Italy and other centres throughout Europe.
In this first image from MERIS on 22 March 2002, a very dry desert directly borders the ocean teeming with life. To the south, a high concentration of phytoplankton was detected along the coasts of Senegal, the Gambia and Guinea-Bissau.
Small, single-celled phytoplankton play a key role in the marine food chain. They convert sunlight, carbon dioxide and nutrients into carbohydrates on which nearly all life in the ocean depends.
In most parts of Earth's oceans, phytoplankton concentration is extremely low. However, in 'upwelling areas' like the one pictured here, the ocean becomes rich in minerals from the mixing of surface waters with deeper waters.
The most important fishing grounds can be found in these upwelling areas. Climate change has an effect on the intensity and geographical position of these areas, which, in turn, has important consequences for the fishing industries and those who depend on them.
Also evident in this image is the transition from the dry desert lands in the north through the savannah and to tropical vegetation in the south, which receives more rainfall. MERIS can monitor land use that leads to increased erosion and soil loss.
The Image of the Week is featured on ESA Web-TV, broadcast online every Friday at 10:00 CET.

Through various good people who point to the data, I've been following the path of Common Purpose in local government for some time. The problem is the plethora of data, how much space it occupies in a blogpost and how interesting it is to the reader.
For example:
Let's revisit these three posts again before getting into it:
Graham Roberts now brings an interesting angle to the story:
How ironic that the Media Standards Trust , set up by 2 Common Purpose trustees, have now got involved in the hacking scandal. The Media Standards Trust is a trojan horse fake charity set up to re-balance as they see fit how the press is regulated (in other words to the advantage of their cronies inside the BBC – Guardian)
Middleton and Bells – CP Trustees and founders of the Media Standards Trust had been collecting illegally for nearly 2 years, the data of foi requesters, then distributing their names via a blacklist – to public bodies who CP dealt with. CP embarked on a smear campaign against ordinary members of the public who put in foi requests referencing CP.
Evidence of the above:
… and it goes on to give that. There is a bewildering array of bodies set up with innocuous sounding titles but fairly nefarious purposes or at least the people who set them up have been up to nefarious activities.
[Warning before proceeding – this post makes many references to posts on my own site and so to reprint them all here would make the current post prohibitively long. I'm not interested in traffic beyond what I have and so you can view these in RSS, take the url and go there independent of my blog, which will fulfil the twofold purpose of giving you the data and avoiding giving me hits.]
Some of them, mentioned here, include:
# the Media Standards Trust,
# the Parliament & Internet Conference,
# Tetherless World Constellation,
# total information awareness:
Total Information Awareness – a prototype system — is our answer. We must be able to detect, classify, identify, and track terrorists so that we may understand their plans and act to prevent them from being executed. To protect our rights, we must ensure that our systems track the terrorists, and those that mean us harm. [ h/t Ian PJ]
John Poindexter was Vice President of Syntek Technologies, a government contractor. Syntek and Poindexter worked for years with DARPA to develop Genoa, a surveillance device that's a combination cutting-edge search engine, sophisticated information harvesting program", and a "peer-to-peer" file sharing system. Kind of a military-grade Google/Napster for use in instant analysis of electronic data.
The result: Facebook.
# Demos – a particularly virulent body mentioned here and here, of which Geoff Mulgan was a founder:
"Mulgan worked from 1997 as a Special Adviser to the Prime Minister on social policy issues…responsible for social exclusion, welfare to work, family, urban, voluntary sector and other issues.
Demos trustees brought together Sir Douglas Hague (former adviser to Margaret Thatcher), Jan Hall (Chief Executive of the advertising agency Gold Greenlees Trott), Martin Jacques (Co-founder of Demos, former editor of Marxism Today), Julia Middleton (Chief Executive of Common Purpose), The Royal Institute of International Affairs, The RAND Corporation, The International Institute for Strategic Studies, The Hudson Institute (founded by Herman Khan – model for Kubrick's Dr Strangelove), The Heritage Foundation, The Centre for Policy Studies, The Institute of Economic Affairs, The Aspen Institute, The Adam Smith Institute and so on…
Pause for a moment and that should tell you something. Adam Smith participating in a Marxist project?
# Performance and Innovation Unit':
A Cabinet Office news release of 1/9/00 announced the appointment of Mulgan as Director of the 'Performance and Innovation Unit' (PIU):
"The PIU's aim is to improve the capacity of Government to address strategic, cross-cutting issues and to promote innovation in the development and delivery of policy and in the delivery of the Government's objectives. The Unit reports direct to the Prime Minister through Sir Richard Wilson."
# Geoff Mulgan chaired the Advisory Council alongside Martin Taylor.
# Commissioner for Public Appointments:
On 6 February 2002, the official website of the UK Prime Minister announced, "Dame RennieFritchie re-appointed as Commissioner for Public Appointments." In the following minutes (Number: 716), dated 23 May 2002, Julia Middleton, CEO of Common Purpose, states that she is working for Dame Rennie.
She has founded or helped in the founding of the Media Standards Trust, DEMOS, The Good Governance Network, Impetus Trust, and Alfanar. Julia is also on the board of the Orwell Prize and was an editor of the magazine 'Marxism Today'.
# In 2007 the MacArthur Foundation awarded a grant of $350,000 to the Media Standards Trust and the Web Science Research Initiative to develop their plans for authenticating news on the web.
# The Technology Strategy Board [no link] is overseeing the setting-up of the 'Internet of Things' in the UK.
Pause for breath again. What we have is all of us bloggers out here doing what we think is free and unassailable and meanwhile, all these toerags are setting up this body or that, unbeknowns to us, to oversee what we're doing in an official capacity. This is "leading beyond authority", the former official byline of Common Purpose.
# The U.S. Alliance for Telecomunications Indusry Solutions (ATIS) is a founding partner of oneM2M (see p.5), which itself is 'Unifying the Internet of Things'
# Then there is the WorldConference on International Telecommunications (WCIT) and it is believed by many that the ITU is going to try and take-over the Internet at some point after the conference.
# Citizen's juries and other local area bodies, set up by the same people every time and chaired by them.
# You can find a partial list of CP controlled organizations here [read the article] .
Indimedia says the organisation [by late 2009] had training programmes in every major town and city in Britain and since 1989 more than 60,000 people had been involved with 20,000 'leaders' completing one or more programmes. These are:
Leaders: Matrix and Focus
Emerging leaders: Navigator
Very young leaders: Your Turn
Leaders who need a local briefing: Profile
National leaders: 20:20
They themselves seemed quite proud of it [read the article]:
We run a Common Purpose programme in every major city and town in the UK and in an increasing number of European cities. 12,000 leaders from all sectors and backgrounds have become Common Purpose 'graduates'.
And that's just an introduction. Is it any wonder that councils have turned nastier than historically the case [e.g. wheelie bin crime], are providing fewer services, often now at an extra cost [firms know about rubbish collection demands by councils], plus investing the proceeds in places such as Icesave?
# Witterings from Witney has more of them:
In his article Gilligan also alleges 'links' between HackedOff, Sovereign Strategy, and Common Purpose and in connection with his accusation about 'left-wing' support, it is one perhaps understandable when looking at HackedOff's list of supporters, amongst whom are Polly Toynbee, Julia Middleton, Helena Kennedy and Chris Bryant MP. It is also worth mentioning at this stage that the Media Standards Trust, set up by 2 Common Purpose trustees – Middleton and Bell – have now got involved in the hacking scandal.
# Via Graham Watson, that Telegraph piece, dealing with the laughably named Sovereign Strategy:
Separately, The Sunday Telegraph has also learned that one of the key members of Lord Justice Leveson's inquiry into privacy and the press is chairman of a charity which was itself censured for multiple breaches of privacy laws.
Sir David Bell is one of a six-strong panel appointed by the Prime Minister, David Cameron, to assist Lord Leveson in his work.
However Sir David chairs a charity, Common Purpose, which was reprimanded by the Information Commissioner in 2009 for six probable breaches of the Data Protection Act.
Sir David was appointed to the Leveson inquiry because of his role as chairman and co-founder of the Media Standards Trust, which campaigns for for "transparency and accountability in news" and against "all forms of illegal intrusion by the press."
The Media Standards Trust is another supporter, with Sovereign Strategy, of the Hacked Off campaign, paying for the campaign's website.
Wheel within wheels. I could seriously go on for another 20 or so A4 pages and still not cover it all. Here are some good sites:
UK Column
CP Exposed
Stop CP
Ken Craggs
PJC Journal
Witterings from Witney
… and a host of other fine blogs you can find in my blogrolls and others soon to be there.
2. And today: the Local Government Ombudsman – here's just an excerpt:
4. Priestley on press freedom:
5. And from Ken:
Common Purpose graduate Shami Chakrabarti is Chancellor of Oxford Brookes University . Common Purpose graduate Joanna Foster was formerly Deputy Chair and Governor of Oxford Brookes University and chaired the Lloyds TSB Foundation and the Equal Opportunities Commission.
Joanna Foster is also an Associate Fellow of the University of Oxford SAID Business School. Another Common Purpose graduate at the SAID Business School is Elizabeth Paris who has been Managing Director at JPMorgan and Managing Director at The Chase Manhattan Bank. Dame Helen Alexander is a trustee of the Oxford University SAID Business School and was Chief Executive of the Economist Group until 2008.
Lady de Rothschild and Chair of Common Purpose Sir David Bell are on the Board of Directors at The Economist Group. Dame Helen Alexander is also on the World Wide Web Foundation Board of Directors along with Ex – Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
The bottom line is that few are going to be interested in this and those who are may not be aware how deeply rotten the situation is – Tim Berners Lee being in consultation with these people, for example, on how best to control the net [links passim].
The net has gotten out of control by the PTB but we should perhaps be aware of some things all the same:
1. The bastards are organizing to put a legal framework in place to control the net, unbeknowns to most people who will then be presented with it as a fait accompli;
2. They are provoking incidents, e.g. the paedophilia thing, in order to bring in their measures [neo-Hegelian];
3. We can be switched off even now, either through our provider being leaned on for some spurious reason or for the server being taken down. The link we have with each other, people, is very, very tenuous indeed.
By all means let's have our academic discussions of whether God exists or not or whether the Frankfurt School was nefarious or not or even the old left/right dichotomy but the thing which is the issue of the current day is Control v Freedom. Above were some examples of how control is being feverishly put in place and little outposts, such as this site, are doing their best to expose and publicize this.
Without oversensationalizing it unduly, this is war really, between the common people and the PTB but as those links above show, many of the evil muvvers are not so much the visible elite themselves but their lackeys – ordinary seeming people looking much like you and me.
To meet them, we might not even be aware. This is the most dispiriting part, to know that many of those about us, even reading this now, are quislings either wittingly or unwittingly. We could perhaps remove a few "leaders" but how do we remove or at least stop others who look just like us until they're examined?
Exposing them is one thing – stopping them is another.

| 12.5°C Dublin
DUBLINER Pádraig Harrington believes that Colin Montgomerie would be crazy to entertain any thought of becoming Europe's Ryder Cup captain for a second time in 2014.
The players committee will meet during the January 17-20 Abu Dhabi Championship to decide on a successor to Spain's Jose Maria Olazabal at the biennial team event, with 2011 British Open champion Darren Clarke and Ireland's Paul McGinley the front-runners.
Irishman Clarke, however, said last month that he believes Europe should appoint a leader with a "huge presence", suggesting 2010 skipper Montgomerie should be considered.
"There's not a chance, after what he went through last time, that Colin would ever take the captaincy again," said triple-major winner Harrington.
"He puts so much more on the line than anybody else -- it would be madness for him. He's had a great Ryder Cup playing career, he's been a successful captain -- why risk all that?
"I can't see in any shape or form him agreeing to do it again."
The United States, desperate to halt a run of seven defeats in nine editions, appointed eight-times major champion Tom Watson as captain last month.
"That was a big statement and brilliant for the event," said Clarke. "There are few more iconic figures in golf... and it sends out a statement they are serious about winning the trophy back.
"Maybe we have to consider other people. Whoever it is standing on that stage opposite Tom Watson needs a huge presence."
But Harrington, who won the British Open in 2007 and 2008 and the US PGA Championship in 2008, said half of Montgomerie's career would go out of the window if he lost as skipper.
"I had a long chat with Monty the evening we won the Ryder Cup in 2010," said the 41-year-old. "I could see the relief Colin had when he won.
"I don't think he quite realised until then the enormity of being captain for him. Most players who take the captaincy, whether they win or lose, it doesn't change people's perception of their overall career.
"Monty's career though is based on his eight order of merit wins and his Ryder Cup performances," added Harrington, who has just signed a new multi-year deal with his club manufacturers Wilson Golf.
"By taking the captaincy he's putting far more on the line than anybody else because it would be hard to mention that he's unbeaten in the singles in the competition but, oh, he's also a losing captain as well. That would take the shine off his great record."
Harrington, a stalwart of six Ryder Cup campaigns, wants fellow-Irishman McGinley to take over as skipper at Gleneagles in Scotland next year before handing over to Clarke for the 2016 version in the United States.
"Everybody's talking about it on the European Tour," said Harrington.
"My own personal opinion is that McGinley should take it this time and for Clarke to do it in the US.
"I think Darren would be a better captain in America because of his stature over there. McGinley would be a better option to go up against Watson.
"He can't match Watson in terms of his stature in the game -- nobody can do that. The only way McGinley would tackle a Ryder Cup is to knuckle down and do his own business and organise things -- he would be ideal for Gleneagles."
Harrington, who launches his 2013 European Tour campaign at next week's Volvo Golf Champions event in South Africa, said he had heard on the golfing grapevine that Watson was going to be named as US captain.
"That was the word, so it was no surprise when I found out he was appointed," said the genial Dubliner.
"I had kind of heard earlier that they were going to do something different.
"I can understand it -- they're not dominating the Ryder Cup and they need to bring in the heavyweight hitters to get the trophy back.
"They don't have the luxury at the moment of going through the ranks to pick the captain -- they have to go right to the top of the pile and unless you pick Jack Nicklaus, there's no one else who carries the stature of Tom Watson," added Harrington.
"It will be fascinating for the US players because if you can learn anything from Tom Watson, anything at all during Ryder Cup week, it would be a career highlight."

A Tuscaloosa judge heard arguments yesterday filed against Kristen Saban, the daughter of Alabama's head coach. It was brought by her sorority sister Sarah Grimes, who claims...well, she claims Saban beat the shit out of her.
Saban's lawyer agrees with that part of it! But, argued attorney Bob Prince, the case should be dismissed because Grimes started it.
"What you're left with is this: You've got a drunk assaulter who gets in a fight, loses the fight and sues."
The suit, filed in 2012, is available below and it is essential reading for sociologists seeking to study the elusive Drunk American College Girl.
At a house party in the summer of 2010, it alleges, the girls were playing "power hour"—a game where you take a drink each time the song changes. Grimes claims that Saban was having a spat with her boyfriend (reportedly Crimson Tide tight end Brian Vogler) and became emotional, lying on the floor and refusing to get up. Grimes says she said, "Kristen, please just shut up. We're all sick and tired of hearing it." Kristen allegedly responded by screaming "No one likes you, you don't have any friends" and storming off to her room.
Saban then allegedly posted on Facebook, "No one likes Sarah! Yayyyyy!"
Grimes confronted Saban demanding that she remove the Facebook post, and there's where accounts differ. Grimes's suit claims Saban pushed her first, slamming her head into a door. According to Grimes's written testimony entered in court yesterday, Saban proceeded to punch her "like Boom Boom Mancini," breaking her nose and giving her a concussion. Grimes claims she attempted to escape, but couldn't because Saban had a death grip on her hair. The two were finally separated by friends.
Saban's account of the incident claims her shove was in self-defense, and that Grimes choked her neck and pulled her hair, but that the fighting wasn't that serious: "A lot of slapping and punching, not many landing, and scratching," Saban testified.
Grimes's attorney disagreed, saying, "My client had a broken nose and had to get surgery, and they call that a catfight? She had the devil beat out of her."
Saban's version of events contains an episode familiar to college students: the tearful make-up.
"She told me to look at her, because I had my hands over my eyes crying. She said, 'We can't do this to each other. We're best friends," Kristen Saban said.
Court documents show the two had friction before the fight, with Grimes reportedly upset that Saban had not invited her to a football workout or the official premiere of biopic Nick Saban: Gamechanger. They also indicate that Nick Saban's wife, Terry, tried to talk Grimes out of filing a lawsuit, but was unsuccessful.
Yesterday, the judge promised to take under consideration Kristen Saban's attorney's arguments to dismiss the case, but did not say when he would make his decision.

John Terry quits international football
Chelsea centre-back John Terry has retired from international football.
LONDON - John Terry brought his long and often controversial England career to an end on Sunday when the Chelsea defender announced his retirement from international football.
The 31-year-old, capped 78 times since his debut in 2003 and who appeared at two World Cups, issued a statement saying his position in the national team had become untenable due to the Football Association's impending case against him.
Terry is due before an FA tribunal on Monday facing charges of racially abusing Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand during a Premier League game last October despite being acquitted in the law courts in July.
"I am today announcing my retirement from international football," the former England captain said in his statement.
"I would like to thank the England managers who have selected me for my 78 caps.
"I have had great pleasure in sharing that honour with all the players that I've played with. I would like to thank them, the fans and my family for their support and encouragement during my international career.
"Representing and captaining my country is what I dreamed of as a boy and it has been a truly great honour. I have always given my all and it breaks my heart to make this decision."
Terry, who if found guilty of racially abusing Ferdinand could face a lengthy ban similar to the one served by Liverpool's Luis Suarez last season, said the FA had left him in an impossible position.
"I am making this statement today in advance of the hearing of the FA disciplinary charge because I feel The FA, in pursuing charges against me where I have already been cleared in a court of law, have made my position with the national team untenable," Terry, whose last cap was in the recent World Cup qualifier in Moldova earlier this month, said.
East-London born Terry has spent his entire career with Chelsea since joining as a 14-year-old.
He made his first-team debut in 1998 and quickly established himself as one of the country's best central defenders, rugged and fearless but also possessing the ability to play the ball from the back.
His first England cap came against Serbia and Montenegro in 2003 and he was selected for the Euro 2004 finals in Portugal.
Terry's leadership qualities persuaded former England manager Steve McClaren to give him the captain's armband after David Beckham gave up the position following the 2006 World Cup.
It was a role he took on with pride, although his England captaincy was not without its problems.
The Chelsea stalwart, who regularly put his body on the line for his country, had the armband taken away by Fabio Capello in 2010 after revelations about his private life.
Terry courted controversy at the World Cup finals in South Africa when he hinted that the players were bored at the team's base and that had held clear-the-air meetings with Capello.
After regaining the position due to Rio Ferdinand's injury problems he was again stripped of the captaincy in February over the Anton Ferdinand allegations, a decision that led Capello to quit.
Terry's decision will be a blow to England boss Roy Hodgson who publicly backed him despite the ongoing controversy.
England won 50 of the 78 matches in which Terry appeared, losing just 10. He scored six goals, including the first ever senior goal for England at the new Wembley Stadium in 2007.
Liverpool's Steven Gerrard is the current England captain.

Net scalpers set off discussion of true fandom in terms of economics
Several Japanese media have commented recently on how expensive tickets are on various Internet auction sites for the upcoming Paul McCartney shows. Sir Paul's six-show Japan tour, including three Tokyo Dome concerts, slated for the middle of November sold out almost immediately after they went on sale in September. The highest face price for a ticket is ¥16,500, but tickets on the Yahoo auction site are going for as high as ¥400,000. What's especially unnerving to some people is that these high prices have not been arrived at through the usual bidding process. The seller is simply setting a very high price and people are paying it.
This realization has led to calls for regulation of ticket prices on auction sites. According to one journalist writing in the Asahi Shimbun, who also happens to be a big McCartney fan (he didn't get picked in the initial ticket lottery), if Net auctions are not regulated then only rich people will be able to buy tickets to the most popular concerts, thus squeezing out "true fans" of the artists who are performing. The journalist says that it's obvious these expensive net tickets are being sold by dafuya (scalpers).
Many local governments have laws that limit the activities of scalpers who hang around venues selling secondhand tickets, though these are usually associated with public nuisance regulations (meiwaku jorei). The journalist says there should be laws limiting what scalpers can charge on the Internet. He also points out that scalping runs counter to the purposes of selling tickets over the net, a service he says was designed for people who bought tickets legitimately but for some reason can't attend the show and need to find someone else who will buy the tickets. It is not for the purpose of making a profit.
Some promoters have come out in favor of cracking down on net scalpers. Rockin' On, the magazine that sponsors and puts on Rock In Japan, the country's biggest summer music festival, says that net auctions have become a problem for them, since the festival sells out fairly quickly and the audience is typically young, meaning they don't have the money to pay the kind of prices net scalpers demand. Like the journalist, Rockin' On's president, veteran music critic Yoichi Shibuya, told Asahi that tickets for the festival should go to "people who really want to go" but end up in the hands of people "who can be called scalpers." Shibuya says that Yahoo is shirking its responsibility by inadvertently helping scalpers fleece young music lovers.
However, a professor of economics at prestigious Waseda University told the paper that complaints about net scalpers ignore one vital component, namely, the market. Who is to say that the person who shells out 400,000 yen for a ticket to the McCartney show is any less a fan of the ex-Beatle than someone who claims to be but can't afford that price? If the scalpers can get that much money for a single ticket, it means that the face prices of the tickets were too low to begin with.
In essence, tickets that are sold on the net will fetch their "natural" market price, whereas prices set by the promoters and venues can be artificially low, depending on the artist. What the professor seems to be saying is that net prices measure a true fan's desire: even if the price of the ticket is higher than you can reasonably pay, if you really want to see that show, you'll pay it. The real problem, he says, is that if tickets were actually sold this way, it would reflect badly on the artist, especially rock artists who tend to have the image of being heroes for the average person.

China Syndrome
This 1979 thriller is a frightening look into the threat of nuclear fallout, a concept that appears to have been somewhat marginalized in the current state of popular consciousness. Once in awhile I find that it is a swell idea to reinforce the state of one's own nuclear paranoia with an evening movie devoted to the subject. The China Syndrome is the perfect film for such an occasion.
Jane Fonda stars as Kimberly Wells, an ambitious "soft news" reporter who finds herself in the right place at the wrong time when an unexplained mishap occurs at a Southern Californian Nuclear Power plant while reporting on a series about energy production. It is here that her cameraman Richard Adams, who is played by Michael Douglas, secretly films the incident from an observation room as it takes place behind soundproof glass in the control room down below. As Wells and Adams embark on an investigation as to what actually happened in that control room and attempt to air their story they find themselves ensnared in a web of deception and resistance.Continue Reading

EpiTect Methyl II PCR Assays
For DNA methylation profiling using MethylScreen technology with laboratory-verified assays
EpiTect Methyl II PCR Assays are a simple and reliable method for quickly detecting the DNA methylation status of the CpG islands associated with individual genes, when used with the EpiTect Methyl II DNA Restriction Kit. EpiTect Methyl II PCR Assays are primer pairs available for analyzing any human, mouse, or rat promoter CpG island. EpiTect Methyl II PCR Assays use MethylScreen technology provided under license from Orion Genomics, LLC.
Buy Products
EpiTect Methyl II PCR Assays are intended for molecular biology applications. These products are not intended for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease.
Product Details
EpiTect Methyl II PCR Assays provide high sensitivity (see figure EpiTect Methyl II PCR Assays detect methylation in heterogeneous samples). Results are comparable to methylation analysis using bisulfite sequencing (see figure Comparison with bisulfite Sanger sequencing) and are highly suited for verification of genome-wide methylation analysis studies (see figure EpiTect Methyl II PCR Arrays generate data comparable to that from BeadChip platforms).
DNA methylation plays an important role in gene expression and it occurs almost exclusively in the context of CpG dinucleotides in the form of a covalent attachment of a methyl residue to the cytosine residue. CpG islands are regions with an elevated GC content and a high frequency of CpG dinucleotides which overlap with the promoter region of 60–70% of all human genes. Hypermethylation of CpG islands at gene promoters is mostly associated with gene silencing.
EpiTect Methyl II PCR Assays are primer pairs available for more than 37,000 promoter CpG islands, annotated based on the combination of UCSC genome bioinformatics predictions and CpG islands with published evidence of hypermethylation. Each EpiTect Methyl II PCR Assay corresponds to one distinct CpG island in a promoter region, defined as from 5 kb upstream to 3 kb downstream of a transcription start site (TSS). Assays can be selected by gene, NCBI gene ID, or miRNA ID and are available for human, mouse, and rat. All EpiTect Methyl II PCR Assays are first designed by an experimentally optimized computer algorithm that accounts for the GC-rich sequences in genomic DNA and particularly in CpG islands. The design algorithm also ensures that every amplicon contains sufficient cutting sites for both methyl-sensitive and methyl-dependent enzymes to maximize methylation detection sensitivity. Assay designs are then tested experimentally for high amplification efficiencies and for amplification of a single, target-specific product to quality control real-time PCR performance. The performance of the EpiTect Methyl II PCR Assays is guaranteed when used with the appropriate RT2 SYBR® Green qPCR Mastermix.
First, add equal amounts of each genomic DNA sample to components of the EpiTect Methyl II DNA Restriction Kit to set up 4 different restriction digests: mock (Mo), methyl-sensitive (Ms), methyl-dependent (Md), and double (Msd) (see figure EpiTect Methyl II PCR Array procedure). After digestion and heat inactivation of the enzymes, add an aliquot of each digest to separate real-time PCR tubes containing the appropriate RT2 SYBR Green Mastermix and the EpiTect Methyl II PCR Assay. Finally, run the recommended cycling program.
Determine the CT values for the characterization of each digest with each gene-specific assay using your instrument's software. Then, paste the values into the correct Excel-based data analysis template for the array format to calculate the percentage of methylated DNA.
The EpiTect Methyl II PCR system is an innovative technology and versatile tool for:
Furthermore, EpiTect Methyl II PCR Assays are also powerful tools for studying regulatory mechanisms behind the gene expression changes observed with RT2 Profiler PCR Arrays and Assays.
